Lullingstone Country Park is near Eynsford, in Kent, England. A former deer park of a large estate, it was later sold to become an open-space and woodland park. The park and Lullingstone Castle are a Scheduled Monument,[2] and an area of 66.4-hectare (164-acre) is a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest Kent.

View of the Victorian Viaduct in Kent Downs

Highlight • Historical Site

This impressive nine-arched red-brick viaduct is a prominent feature on the line to the delightfully-named ''Bat & Ball'' station. The structure was built by the independent ''Sevenoaks Railway'', incorporated in 1859 to link the ''Chatham'' main line with the market town of Sevenoaks. The branch was initially single-track, seeing its first services on 2nd June 1862, but the viaduct was built to accommodate two tracks from the outset, because the line was doubled in the following year. A Maidstone extension from Otford opened on 1st June 1874, this again single-track, but following in the footsteps of the original Bat & Ball line, this was soon doubled, two-track working commencing on 11th August 1875. The viaduct has nine arches of 30-foot span, and rises to a height of 75-feet above the valley. (From kentrail.org.uk)

Eynsford Ford and Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

Eynsford Ford reflects the traditional way used to cross a stream or small river, via a shallow point. It was an important crossing back in Roman times.

River Side Tea Room

Highlight • Cafe

Great spot for a coffee before you hit the climb up Bower Lane.

Quiet enough to leave your bike outside if you’re sitting in, or else get a takeaway and park yourself by the stream across the road.

Farningham Brick Bridge and Mill

Highlight • Bridge

The white houses in the background are interesting. I've heard storys linking these to early American houses.
We are about 2 miles from Brands Hatch, on race days you can hear the motors.
